"Still waiting for db to be ready... Or maybe the db is not reachable."

For me this was cause by removing apk add pdo_pgsql \ in my api/Dockerfile

I copy some of another Dockerfile, and replace this by pdo_mysql \

I search a lot on the web and found nothing, hope it can helps someone

Let’s do this! Do you want to work on a PR?

I started to but…

I mixed up two bugs reports for the same kind of problem. The other one was not related to api-platform but involved bin/console too.

So, here the problem is for the “Still waiting” because bin/console is not executable in some situations. It’s not because of a composer doing a cache:clear… I mixed up.

Back to this problem:

I tried different ways to install and run api-platform.

1. Under WSL2: git clone and run => No problem on bin/console
2. Under WSL 2: dl .tar.gz, untar, run => No problem
3. Under Windows: dl .tar.gz on Windows, move the archive in a WSL2 dir, untar with WSL2, run => No problem
4. Under Windows: dl .tar.gz, untar it under Windows into a WSL2 dir, run => bin/console is not executable and got the “Still waiting for db…”

I did chmod +x on bin/console under WSL2, ran docker-compose up again and the problem was solved.

So, it can’t be fixed in the Dockerfile. It’s a Windows and/or WSL2 problem only.

• Wacuta may have done unzip/untar with Windows, lost flags, uploaded files on his VPS
• Me, I untar the files under Windows into WSL2 dir. I don’t know how Windows do this, but it seems he doesn’t keep flags even if we untar files directly to a WSL2 dir.

The problem is because of Windows. Even with the .tar.gz file 😕
